I've never look into asic miners for once but last night I spent some time trying to compare why Asic could be a better option than a rig, I see that I can mine Doge coin instead of BTC so I just want to hear some opinions from long time crypto miners on here, what could make an Asic miner a better option than a mining rig.

I kinda like this Goldshell mini - doge asic, any users on here?

If there are better ones can you drop names? Thank you

I did not find this ASIC on the official website
https://www.goldshell.com/shop/
Litecoin and Dodge have a lot of ASICs, if you want to mine these coins, then you must have cheap electricity.
And an important technical point is that there should be a service for these ASICs in your city, or nearby. Otherwise, in the event of a breakdown, you will have losses.

That mini is really costly.
he is far better off with old used bitmain L3+ gear.
just down clock them to a good level for sound and power use they are close to the same efficiently and the L3+ is about 30% of the price.

Also L3+ are fairly reliable due to the lower power draw they do. 800 watts for 500 mh is the normal setting but on down clock you can do 350 watts and 250 mh and they would not be very loud at those settings.
